Mmmm' we had real sunshine today.....

This morning I felt rather weary, but I looked out at the glorious sunshine and thought – No, This is definitely a day to be outdoors so I wearily donned my gardening gear and trudged slowly outside. I started with an inspection of the borders and, yes, the dratted weeds were inded proliferating ( nice word Aye? ) so out came the hoe and FOUR hours later I took myself indoors with aching back and lots of satisfaction to have some lunch and then couldn’t resist going out again later to admire my weed free borders. BIGMISTAKE. Two hours later I returned indoors and now the aching back could positively be heard groaning, so now I’m wondering if my presence will be missed at the coffee morning in the morning. Will I never learn?…

I'm jealous. I was stuck in a cold office and by the time I came home I was fit for nothing. I'm hoping for some good ( at least dry) weather at the weekend so I can have aching muscles too.
Sounds like you both did good work though and will have a feeling of satisfaction as you massage those muscles.

No don't cancel your holiday Sticky. Go and have a great time and then think about the gym when back home. However my son is super fit and that's just from walking. I used to play golf and I know that walking is really the best form of excercising. If I could only have those days back, it was fabulous. Are you going somewhere exotic, or perhaps just peaceful? Either is lovely...

That's what I thought as I knew you went to Islay earlier. I am going to Tuscany next June all being well. We have booked it already. We are going to Vinci and there will be eleven of us again. Can't wait...

Yes, it is indeed and I think it should be very interesting. It is also fairly close to Florence, Pisa and several other great places so as I said I can't wait. We will be staying in a beautiful villa so perhaps I won't want to leave it TOO often while we are there.......

That might a bit of a disaster Meadowland as I can't swim, but I do enjoy the water and I have a lovely cossie. Shame it never gets wet. Would love to try that form of exercise especially followed by coffee and toasted teacake. Yummie.......
